Instructions
Step 1
Select a universal remote control model, purchase a device and prepare it for use. Choose batteries of the correct size, as a rule, they need no more than two AAA types. Remove the battery compartment cover, observing the polarity, insert the batteries into the remote control. Close the power compartment and take the instructions. Carefully read the operating manual of the device, it should contain the codes for different manufacturers of household appliances. Find the values required for your instance. As a rule, there are several such codes. Select the ones you want and enter them according to the manufacturer's recommendations. If necessary, for example, if you cannot understand some specific terms, study the reviews on the forums on the Internet. There are many sites where it is described in detail what settings need to be made and users in discussions can ask questions, get answers to them.
Step 2
A universal remote control works in the same way as a remote control for a specific technical device, regardless of whether it is a TV or a kettle with remote access. The device is a small box, equipped with buttons with a keyboard or touchscreen display, contact LEDs and electronic circuitry. By pressing the "Start" button, the infrared transmitter sends a certain "Code" to the same receiver of another device and, accordingly, performs the command you need - adjusts the volume, adjusts or switches a specific channel.
Step 3
After you have entered the required code on the remote control, press the SET and TV keys at the same time (sometimes DVB is written on the device instead of TV). If the code is correct, the indicator on the POWER key will light up. This is an indication that the device is functional and ready to be operated. Does the remote control not perform the functions declared by the manufacturer? Try to enter a different code value and try to use it again. In this case, automatic search will help you. Switch on the equipment that you want to control with the universal remote control. Press the SET and TV keys at the same time and hold them for a few seconds until the indicator of the POWER key starts flashing. The color of the signal depends on the model of the universal remote control, but most often it is red.
Step 4
Point the remote at the device. If your universal remote has responded, quickly press any key except SET. If you did not have time to do this, restart the automatic search or go to manual settings. With these manipulations, you can set the signal very quickly.
Step 5
Try adjusting the control of the master switch using manual search. For example, turn on the TV, tune the desired channel. Press the SET and TV keys at the same time until the indicator of the POWER key lights up. After that, alternately press this button until the TV starts to respond to the remote control signal. Pauses between clicks should be no more than 2 seconds. Press the SET or TV key to end the search.
Step 6
Check the performance of the setting. Try using the remote to adjust the sound, switch channels, turn off the device. If all operations are carried out, the installation and operation of the control panel are carried out correctly.
Step 7
Similarly, you can configure the universal remote to work with other devices. Instead of the TV button, hold down and hold down the button corresponding to the device to be set until the LED starts flashing. For example, DVD for DVD player, SAT for satellite receiver, etc.
Step 8
Depending on the manufacturer, the instructions for the universal remote will give different recommendations for using the setting codes. For example, in the English version, the codes are located in the Brand section. In the domestic - the developers have highlighted a separate chapter in Russian. When choosing a universal remote control to control equipment, pay attention if the manual is in Russian.
Step 9
The universal remote control can be used not only for setting up home appliances, it can be used to easily control even a car. But for this you need to make adjustments in the settings. Try also to use a technical device, controlling it to turn on or off the light in the apartment, open electronic locks, in general, where remote control is possible. It is convenient to use such an assistant in the kitchen as well.
Step 10
If you are not using the equipment at the moment or are planning to leave, remove the batteries first. Do not under any circumstances allow the technical device to come into contact with water, also do not drop the remote control, the circuits located inside can be easily damaged if dropped and the universal remote control will come out of the device. If this still happens, contact the repair service, since such equipment also has a warranty, most often for at least six months.
